Trump's Claim Was Wrong: Latest on Daylight Saving Time in the US

In the United States, millions of people will again change their clocks on Sunday, November 1, 2026. With the end of daylight‑saving time, clocks will be set back from 02:00 to 01:00 local time. Thus, in regions where the change takes effect, the night will be an hour longer.

Trump Supported Permanent Daylight Saving Time

President Donald Trump was among those who advocated for abolishing the twice‑annual clock change in the United States and for making daylight saving time permanent. Despite successive directives, those efforts did not become law, so the existing system remains in place in 2026. A bill proposing a permanent daylight‑saving schedule had also been tabled in Congress earlier.

Mornings Will Brighten Earlier

After the change on November 1, the distribution of daylight across the hours will also shift. Dawn will arrive earlier in the morning, while evenings will darken roughly an hour sooner. Daylight saving time began on March 8, 2026, in most of the United States and will end on November 1.

Arizona and Hawaii Face a Different Situation

All regions in ABD will not revert their clocks. Hawaii does not switch to daylight saving time throughout the year. Most of Arizona also does not change its clocks. However, because the Navajo Nation within Arizona follows daylight saving time, the clocks in that area will be set back on 1 Kasım.

Some ABD Territories Do Not Change Their Clocks!

In some regions attached to ABD, such as Porto Riko, Guam, and Amerikan Samoası, seasonal clock changes are not applied. ABD Virgin Adaları are also among the areas that do not change their clocks.

Phones Will Change Their Own Clocks

Smartphones, computers, and many internet-connected electronic devices will automatically adjust the clock change. In contrast, wall clocks, wristwatches, and especially vehicle clocks that do not update automatically may need to be set back manually.

An Extra Hour of Sleep

Due to the clocks being set back from 02:00 to 01:00, an extra hour of sleep will be available in regions where the time change is applied on the night of November 1. Daylight saving time will resume on Sunday, March 14, 2027, in most of the United States.
