Democrats and Republicans found something they could agree on Wednesday: stopping this whole business of turning clocks forward in the spring and back in the fall.
In a rare unanimous vote, the Senate called for making daylight savings time permanent starting in November 2023.

Neither the White House nor Speaker Nancy Pelosi has expressed an opinion about the bill.
