Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on June 15, 1971)

Happy Birthday, Dana Bash! May your day be filled with fewer breaking news alerts and more cake breaks. Your insightful reporting on CNN has kept us informed—and occasionally entertained—through countless election nights and political dramas. Who else could handle heated debates while maintaining perfect composure (and hair)?

From grilling politicians to gracefully navigating live TV bloopers, you've shown the world how journalism is done—with wit, wisdom, and a dash of humor. Here's hoping this year brings you even bigger scoops than ever before—or at least some well-deserved downtime away from Capitol Hill chaos.

Cheers to another fantastic trip around the sun!
