President Donald Trump just put a seven-figure price tag on exposing the election fraud that Democrats and their media allies insist “doesn’t exist.”
In a Monday Truth Social post, Trump declared: “Anybody reporting Voter Fraud in the past Elections, or the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election, will be paid $1,000,000 upon the arrest and conviction of those that created the Fraud!
He doubled down moments later while speaking to reporters before boarding Air Force One for a midterm rally in Corinth, Mississippi.
“I’m also going to be issuing a $1 million bonus or reward, or whatever you want to call it, for anybody that reports voter fraud, leading to the arrest and conviction of somebody,” Trump said. “We give you, that person, a million dollars.”

The announcement lands just over a week before the November 3 midterms, with control of both chambers of Congress on the line. It follows Trump’s long-running push for election integrity measures after the well-documented irregularities of 2020 and subsequent cycles.
This is exactly the kind of incentive The Gateway Pundit has highlighted. In a recent article, Wayne Allyn Root argued that a massive whistleblower reward fund for voter fraud would make the “rats” desert the Democrat ship, writing that criminals are greedy and have no loyalty. Root has pushed versions of this idea since 2020.
Trump’s $1 million offer for tips that produce convictions is a direct, high-stakes version of that approach.
The move builds on aggressive Trump administration actions already underway. Last week, Trump and Vice President JD Vance unveiled a $25 million Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program (WHIP) for tips on government fraud involving taxpayer money.
The Justice Department has charged noncitizens and others with illegal voting and registration in multiple states. DHS has identified large numbers of noncitizens on voter rolls in places like California (reports of nearly 191,000), New Jersey, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. Federal observers are being deployed for the midterms under the Voting Rights Act.
Democrats and the legacy media immediately framed the reward as “federal overreach” and an attempt to “sow distrust.” They continue to claim noncitizen voting and systematic fraud are vanishingly rare “conspiracy theories,” even as the administration surfaces case after case of illegal registration and voting.
