Obama Had Biggest Fundraising Day Ever After Second Debate

10/19/2012

JEWEL SAMAD/AFP/Getty Images(WASHINGTON) -- President Obama on Wednesday had his biggest single campaign fundraising day ever -- including all of 2007-2008 -- an Obama campaign aide confirmed to ABC News.

The record surge in contributions was attributed to Obama's stronger second debate performance in New York Tuesday.

The aide declined to discuss specific numbers or amounts raised.

The news was first reported by Mike Allen of Politico.
