Bad news is that there are three current U.S. Senators that were born in 1961 but all three are republicans
Senator John Thune (R-SD) January 7, 1961
Senator David Vitter (R-LA) - May 3, 1961
Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA) - November 17, 1961
There are currently 11 House members that were born in 1961 (I do not recognize most of their names)

OP
I think starting back at 50 years ago is good enough to call it a 'current trend'

Sinister, isn't it.
Explain the outlier, Reagan.
And why didn't you include FDR, Ike. JFK, LBJ? I guess they don't fit the pattern.

"First Lady Nancy Reagan was reported to have hired psychics and astrologers to try to protect her husband from the effects of the curse..."
