Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on February 20, 1976)

Happy Birthday, Chris Cillizza! Another year older and wiser—though we're still debating the latter. Your sharp political insights on MSNBC have kept us informed (and occasionally amused), proving that politics can indeed be entertaining when you're at the helm.

From your witty commentary in The Washington Post to those unforgettable whiteboard breakdowns of complex elections, you've made navigating American politics feel less like a headache and more like binge-watching our favorite Netflix series. Here's hoping this birthday brings you fewer poll numbers to crunch—and perhaps one day off from explaining what exactly is happening in D.C.! Cheers!
