Wed Oct 22 10:50:00 UTC 2025: Summary:
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is ending on November 2nd at 2 AM local time in most of the U.S., meaning clocks will fall back and people will gain an hour of sleep. However, this also means earlier sunsets. While many want to get rid of the bi-annual time change, it still remains. Former President Trump has expressed interest in ending DST, calling it “inconvenient” and “costly.” But later this year, he stated that support was a difficult rally.

Daylight Saving Time Ends November 2nd, Sparking Debate Over Future of Time Change
USA TODAY – Get ready to turn back your clocks! Daylight Saving Time (DST) will end on Sunday, November 2nd, at 2:00 AM local time for most of the United States. Residents will gain an hour of sleep, but will also experience earlier sunsets and longer periods of darkness.
The bi-annual time change, designed to provide more daylight during either the morning or evening, remains a contentious issue. Calls to eliminate the practice altogether have grown louder in recent years.
Former President Donald Trump has been a vocal critic of DST. In December 2024, he called it “inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation” and expressed support for its elimination. However, he later suggested support for abolishing DST would be difficult to rally and ultimately, a toss up. Trump also said in April that the House and Senate should push for more daylight at the end of the day.
Whether the US will continue to observe DST in the future remains to be seen. For now, mark your calendars for November 2nd and enjoy that extra hour of sleep… before the sun starts setting a little earlier.
Next year, daylight saving time will begin again on Sunday, March 8, 2026.
