America is just a few weeks away from the end of daylight saving time.

On Nov. 2, most people in the U.S. will turn back their clocks, making sunrise and sunset fall earlier in the day. Changing the clocks twice a year is unpopular due to sleep disruption and confusion, but how to fix it has been up for debate. Some think we should make DST permanent (keep the same schedule as March to November year round), and others think that standard time (the time it will be after we "fall back") should stay in place permanently.

Legislative efforts to make DST permanent have made progress, but have not crossed the finish line in Congress.

What is Trump's position on the issue? Here is what we know:

Will Donald Trump stop daylight saving time?

Trump has shown support for doing away with the time changes, but as of March he wasn't sure there is enough consensus.

"The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate daylight saving time," Trump on Truth Social in December. "Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation."

But later this year, he said it was a toss-up and difficult to rally support for.

"This should be the easiest one of all, but it's a 50-50 issue. If something's a 50-50 issue, it's hard to get excited. I assume people would like to have more light later, but some people want to have more light earlier, because they don't want to take their kids to school in the dark," Trump said in March, according to Reuters. "A lot of people like it one way, a lot of people like it the other way, it's very even. And usually I find when that's the case − what else do we have to?"

In April, he said the House and Senate should push for more daylight at the end of the day, which is consistent with his stance from 2019, according to Politico.

USA TODAY reached out to the White House for comment.

Daylight saving time ends soon for 2025

As the days get shorter, the clocks will change, too, at the official end of daylight saving time.

Clocks "fall back" at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, Nov. 2.

Next year, daylight saving time will begin again on Sunday, March 8, 2026.

What state does not have daylight saving time?

Hawaii and most of Arizona do not observe daylight saving time, but those states keep the clocks in standard time all year.

More than a dozen other state legislatures have voted to keep the clocks in daylight saving time all year, if Congress approves. Those states include Florida, California, South Carolina, Washington, Colorado, Tennessee and Maine.
