Governor Landry calls Daylight Saving Time stupid online

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 30 Oct, 02:09 · Archive

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry has criticised Daylight Saving Time as stupid in a social media post.

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry called Daylight Saving Time 'stupid' in a post on X on Thursday. His message came as President Donald Trump continues to press the Senate to pass the Sunshine Protection Act, a House-passed bill that would make daylight saving time permanent.

Landry's post included a jibe about the timing of an LSU Tigers versus Alabama Crimson Tide American football match scheduled for Saturday. He suggested moving forward four hours instead of falling back one hour this weekend, so that the game would 'kickoff when it's supposed to' and Alabama could 'experience a true Saturday Night in Death Valley'. The game is set to kick off at 2:30 p.m. CT.

Trump has voiced support for the bill, posting on Truth Social this week that 'The United States Senate is letting the Daylight Saving Bill die, when a vast Majority of the Country want it'. However, the Senate is not expected to act on the bill before the end of 2026.
