Senate skeptical about making daylight saving time permanent despite Trump's pressure

What happened: The Senate is unlikely to act before the end of the year on a House-passed bill making daylight saving time permanent, despite pressure from President Donald Trump. Key numbers: Daylight saving time ends early Sunday. Why it matters: Several Republican senators oppose the change, citing late winter sunrises and children going to school in the dark. Sen. Todd Young called the House bill a "non-starter" for Senate Republican leaders, and Sen. Bernie Moreno said "No way" it passes soon.
