    What was the record?

    What was the old record?

    Was it adjusted for inflation?

    Who’s recording and measuring these records?

      I don’t know the answers except that they don’t adjust these for inflation. But I do know from years of watching politics that the old record isn’t anywhere close to this. I don’t recall ever even seeing $10 million raised in one day.
