EDT is ambiguous when considered internationally. You can get the time you are seeking by doing

date command doesn't know "EDT" timezone. If a timezone which isn't supported is passed in TZ the output will indeed show with entered time zone but time shown will be UTC.
Supported time zones are listed in /usr/share/zoneinfo/. As of now time zones that can be used as a value for "TZ" are:
Africa Cuba GMT0 Japan Pacific Turkey
America EET GMT-0 Kwajalein Poland UCT
Antarctica Egypt GMT+0 leap-seconds.list Portugal Universal
Arctic Eire Greenwich Libya posix US
Asia EST Hongkong localtime posixrules UTC
Atlantic EST5EDT HST MET PRC WET
Australia Etc Iceland Mexico PST8PDT W-SU
Brazil Europe Indian MST right zone1970.tab
Canada Factory Iran MST7MDT ROC zone.tab
CET GB iso3166.tab Navajo ROK Zulu
Chile GB-Eire Israel NZ Singapore
CST6CDT GMT Jamaica NZ-CHAT SystemV
The time zone for EDT is "EST5EDT". The output of TZ="EST5EDT" date as of 10 May 2019 02:11:26 UTC:
Thu May 9 22:11:26 EDT 2019
Or use city's name where EDT is used. Examples: America/Kentucky/Louisville, America/Kentucky/Monticello, America/New_York, Canada/Eastern, etc.
