Democrat Barack Obama has raised a record $55 million in February for his presidential campaign.
The amount eclipses rival Hillary Rodham Clinton's own substantial fundraising for the month.
The campaign's announcement comes two days after Obama lost three out of four primaries to Clinton. Clinton's victories stopped his winning streak and extended the race into an unpredictable future.
More than $54 million of the February money was for the primary election. It was the second fundraising record set by Obama. He raised $36 million in January, more than any other presidential candidate who has ever been in a contested primary.
