Paul Singer, a billionaire Republican financier and founder of Elliot Management, has told GOP strategists that he and members of his club of wealthy political donors called the American Opportunity Alliance, plans to continue to finance the Senate Leadership Fund - but not necessarily individual candidates in the final weeks of the midterm elections, according to one Republican strategist who's working the elections.
