President Trump claimed that Wall Street investors do not support former Vice President Joe Biden, despite the stock market posting huge gains a day after the Democratic presidential candidate scored massive primary victories on Tuesday.

"They don't like Joe either," Trump said at the White House. "A lot of people are with Joe. If you look at those people, they're worse than Bernie, in terms of being radical left," appearing to refer to his moderate base of supporters.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged over 1,000 points following Biden's string of 10 victories on Super Tuesday. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq also posted gains of over 3%.

Healthcare stocks also boomed after the latest developments in the primary, given Biden's moderate platform aimed at incremental reforms instead of completely overhauling the sector as his main progressive rival would.

Biden racked up critical wins on Tuesday, mounting an astonishing comeback in recent days and setting the stage for a showdown with Sen. Bernie Sanders for the Democratic nomination.

The markets showed initial signs of stabilizing after a period of tumult over the spread of the coronavirus and its effect on global economies.

Stocks shed over $6 trillion in wealth last week, and an emergency interest-rate cut from the Federal Reserve did little to soothe the rattled nerves of investors. The Dow plunged 800 points on Monday after the Fed unexpectedly took action.
