Trump Announces $1 Million Bounty for Evidence of Voter Fraud
In a post on Truth Social, Trump reiterated his focus on electoral transparency and alleged irregularities in the US voting process
Washington DC: US President Donald Trump has announced a monetary bounty of USD 1 million for anyone providing actionable evidence of voter fraud linked to previous elections or the upcoming 2026 midterm elections, subject to the successful arrest and conviction of those responsible.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump reiterated his focus on electoral transparency and alleged irregularities in the US voting process.
"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! Thank you for your attention to this matter," Trump wrote.
Meanwhile, the November 3 midterm elections are shaping up as a crucial contest for control of both chambers of Congress. The outcome will have significant implications for Trump's legislative agenda and the balance of political power in Washington.
US midterm elections are nationwide votes held every four years at the midpoint of a president's term. These elections determine control of the federal government, with all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and approximately one-third of the Senate up for grabs.
The midterm contests decide the composition and control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, alongside numerous state and local elections across the country.
The political contest comes amid broader challenges for the administration, including economic concerns and declining approval ratings. The Wall Street Journal reported in September that Trump's approval rating had fallen to 37 per cent in its polling, a low for a president heading into midterm elections in the publication's polling history dating back to 1990.
