President-elect Donald Trump called daylight saving time “inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation” in a social media post Friday and said the Republican Party would try to “eliminate” it, in the latest effort to end the twice-yearly time change.

Most states change their time by one hour — in March, when clocks spring forward, and in November, when clocks fall back.

Over the years, many elected officials, including Trump, have expressed support for ending the changes. “Making Daylight Saving Time permanent is OK with me!” Trump posted on social media in March 2019.

He reiterated his support Friday to end the time switches, posting on the social platform X, “The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn’t!”

On social media, there was support for Trump’s post.

Many people called the time changes antiquated.
