You could cast the timestamp to date.  See also "Data Type Formatting
Functions" and "Date/Time Functions and Operators" in the "Functions
and Operators" chapter of the documentation.

See chapter 9.8. Data Type Formatting Functions, all about to_char()

If you just want your preset format you can use SELECT now()::date;
