This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What we found

Supports. Trump's Truth Social post stated that anybody reporting voter fraud in past elections or the upcoming 2026 midterm would be paid $1,000,000 upon the arrest and conviction of those who created the fraud.[2][3][4][5][6]

Supports. Reuters reports Trump said the US would give $1 million to anyone who reports election fraud leading to prison and conviction, a week before the midterms.[1][7]

Supports. Trump also repeated the offer verbally to reporters before boarding Air Force One, saying he would issue a $1 million reward for anyone reporting voter fraud that leads to an arrest and conviction.[7][8][9]

Context. Outlets note that the source of the money, the administering agency, and the qualification process were not specified, and the White House gave no further details.[2][3][4][5][6]

Context. NBC and France24 note that there is no evidence of widespread US voter fraud, and the claim was made in the context of Trump's repeated fraud claims; this context does not bear on whether the offer was announced.[3][6]
