Fox News host Greg Gutfeld and the ‘Gutfeld’ panel discuss why President Donald Trump called out Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., over a disagreement over Daylight Saving Time.
House GOP leadership is ratcheting up pressure on its Senate counterparts to pass legislation making daylight saving time permanent after President Donald Trump called on Congress to act.
The House's No. 2 leader, Majority Leader Steve Scalise , R-La., told Fox News Digital that "there's no reason Americans should lose an hour of sunlight at the end of the day when more daylight means more time with our families, more activity for our businesses, and safer communities."
"President Trump has been pushing to make daylight saving time permanent, and House Republicans delivered by overwhelmingly passing the Sunshine Protection Act. It's a commonsense change and the Senate should take it up," Scalise said.
