Could you download the JSON config for your workflow and upload here? I’ll use the same to mimic your case.
Make sure to remove any sensitive data.

Define variable 4 is me hard coding the birthday but it will be replaced with variable 3 when everything works that is why I am calling variable 4 in the compare string and not variable 3
I tried running the workflow with the modifications and it worked for me. I removed the HTTP calls and looping.
Could you try these 2 things ?
- Update Variable 4 with value
09-23and try running the workflow. - Instead of using Variable 4 in the comparison, could you use Variable 3 ?
Run these cases separately and let me know the result.
The issue with that is their is no one in the data with a birthday today. Does it matter what variable 4’s date is?
No it doesn’t.
Sorry for spamming with so many questions but,
If I understand your workflow correctly, you are building the today’s date in the format mm-dd and sending a mail if anyone has their birthday today?
Maybe I missed it but when you say it works for static value and doesn’t work for a variable. Do you mean that the workflow fails or what happens?
It would not send any email as no one has their birthday today, right?
2 people have a birthday on 09-24. When I ran a test and type in “09-24” as a static value in both compare strings, I get 2 emails, one for each birthday. When I change the static value into variable4 which has 09-24 hard coded for testing purposes, I only get 1 email from 1 of the loops. Both loops show 100% success, but only one of them is working correctly
In my tenant, the workflow executed successfully. I got 2 emails as well. 
Could you run a Test Workflow and share the Workflow Output JSON? Only thing I can think of is that.
Hi Hassan! I have a compare string working now inside a loop. My suggestion is to create a Send Email box at the very first step inside loop. Then, put yourselve as destinatary, and in the mail body put the variable $.loop.loopInput.
That way, you will see what is resolved as the loop iteration, and would be more clear for you how to invoke some inner attribute.

Hi, so when I do this I get an email for each accounts in the list so the loop is working, just not the compare
I am guessing that error can be in the JSONPath. Can you share some email content?
