Date Formatting Subtracts a Day

When I retrieve a date from my collection , the date is correct. After changing the format in code, the date is formatted properly, but the date has changed to 1 day prior.

My Code Example:

const date = $w(“#dynamicDatasetMain”).getCurrentItem().dob;

console.log(date) // Outputs “1956-12-18” (Correct date)

const options = {
day: ‘numeric’,
month: ‘long’,
year: ‘numeric’
};

        const longDOB = new Date(date).toLocaleDateString("en-US",options);

console.log(longDOB); // Outputs “December 17, 1956” (Correct format, wrong date.)

------------- end -------------

Using .toDateString( ) instead yields “Mon Dec 17, 1956”. The expected format, but again the date is displayed as the prior day.

Any ideas to solve this?
