Let's make this birthday one to remember.

63 years old (Born on May 29, 1961)

Happy Birthday, Matthew Dowd! From masterminding political strategies to offering insightful commentary at the National Journal, you've navigated politics with wit and wisdom. Your journey from steering campaigns to dissecting them has been nothing short of legendary—proving that even strategists can have a sense of humor!

Here's hoping your birthday is as memorable as your career highlights (and far less stressful than election night!). May you continue sharing sharp insights and clever quips for many more years. After all, in politics—as in birthdays—the best strategy is always cake first, questions later. Cheers to another fantastic year ahead!
