President Donald Trump said Monday that anyone who reports voter fraud in past races or the 2026 midterms will be paid $1 million after an arrest and conviction. NBC News, the Washington Examiner, and The Guardian reported the Truth Social post. The offer came eight days before Election Day.

Trump did not name a fund or agency that would pay the reward. The pages cast the move as his latest push on fraud claims before the midterms. Early voting was already under way in states such as New York and New Jersey when he posted the message.

Critics say large-scale voter fraud is rare in modern US elections. Trump has repeated fraud claims since 2020 and has pressed states to tighten rules. The post did not spell out how tips would be checked or who would decide that a case qualifies for payment.

State election officials were not quoted with a joint reply on the pages. Legal experts often note that proving fraud in court is slow and rare. The reward idea raised fresh questions about who would police the claims in the final week of voting and whether private funds would be used.

Campaign aides have long sought tips from the public on ballot issues. Past tip lines have drawn many weak leads along with a smaller set of real cases. The new dollar figure is far larger than routine witness payments and is likely to draw both serious tips and noise.

What we know: Trump publicly offered $1 million for tips that lead to voter-fraud convictions.
What we don't: Where the money would come from, and how any tip program would work in practice.
