84 years old (Born on January 31, 1941)
Happy Birthday, Richard Gephardt! From your tireless service representing Missouri in Congress for nearly three decades to boldly stepping into the presidential race—not once but twice—you've certainly shown persistence and dedication. While you may not have made it all the way to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, you've definitely earned a permanent seat at America's table of political legends.Today we celebrate someone who has navigated Capitol Hill's corridors with grace (and perhaps survived more filibusters than birthday candles). May this year bring fewer debates and even greater successes—after all these years lobbying tirelessly, surely you're due some cake-filled victories!
