President Donald Trump announced a $1 million reward for information that leads to voter‑fraud convictions in the 2026 U.S. midterm election, posting the offer on his Truth Social feed on Monday.
The offer comes with no mention of how the money would be paid or who would administer it, leaving voters and officials uncertain about the logistics.
With November 3 just eight days away, polls indicate Democrats pulling ahead as Republicans battle to keep both House and Senate. A Democratic win could stall Trump’s agenda and expose his administration to congressional investigations.
Trump has repeatedly claimed the 2020 election was stolen, despite studies showing voter fraud is rare. He has also offered $5,000 to every adult American if Republicans retain both chambers in a proposal that would cost over $1 trillion.
The Justice Department has filed a lawsuit to block Alaska from certifying its Senate results if Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan loses, citing confusion over a candidate with the same name, a move Trump personally ordered.
The reward announcement is expected to fuel partisan rhetoric and could prompt increased scrutiny of voting practices ahead of the November 3 vote, with no funding details released.
