Karl Rove

Karl Rove, born on December 25, 1950, is a prominent American political strategist best known for his role as Senior Advisor and Deputy Chief of Staff to President George W. Bush from 2000 to 2007. Often dubbed the "architect" of Bush's electoral victories, Rove's influence extended to shaping key policies and political strategies, including the successful 2004 re-election campaign. His strategic acumen and focus on data-driven campaigning revolutionized modern political consulting, though his tenure was also marked by controversies, such as his involvement in the Valerie Plame affair. After leaving the White House, Rove continued to wield significant influence as a commentator and advisor, proving that even in retirement, a strategist’s work is never truly done.
