Last year, it was reintroduced \u2062as the Sunshine \u200dProtection Act of 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Rubio confidently states that the idea of locking in the clock has &#8220;overwhelming bipartisan and popular support.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nineteen states have already passed legislation or resolutions in\u200b favor of year-round daylight saving time, and last year, nearly 30 states were considering similar measures.<\/p>\n<p>Joining \u200cRubio as co-sponsors of the legislation are Sens.

On November\u200c 3, daylight saving time is set to end, giving\u2064 us an extra hour as \u200cwe &#8220;fall back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) is renewing his efforts to make daylight saving time permanent.
