Independent U.S. Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced his purchase of $24,000 in GameStop shares, symbolizing his support for the 'retail rebellion' against Wall Street. Kennedy emphasized his commitment to enacting aggressive Wall Street reforms and punishing predatory short selling. This move marks the first purchase of GameStop stock by a U.S. politician since 2021. Kennedy's actions are seen as an attempt to connect with retail investors and gain support from the GameStop and AMC communities. GameStop shares, $GME, were down 9.10% at the time of the announcement.
