Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac stocks jump 7-9% as Bill Ackman pushes for government exit.

On Election Day, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shares rose sharply by 9% and 7%, respectively, driven by Bill Ackman's public call for ending their government conservatorship. Ackman, holding over 200 million shares, argues the companies are profitable and should be freed via executive action without Congress. Despite the rally, shares remain well below their highs, and any exit plan faces hurdles including Treasury's large ownership and potential market impacts. Investors should watch for official exit plans or executive orders that could influence future stock movements.
