The publisher's blurb indicates that won't be the final title.

"CNN’s first-ever book will document two Americas—their battle, their beliefs, their fears and their hopes for the future. It will be a must-have keepsake of one of the most exciting elections of all time.
"Full of drama and derision, the 2016 presidential election is playing out against a high-stakes backdrop of war, terrorism, economic anxiety and the sudden death of a Supreme Court justice. Almost any outcome will be unprecedented, whether voters elect the first woman president, a blustery billionaire who broke all the rules or a candidate who emerges from a contested GOP convention.
"Voters—angered by economic and cultural changes, clamoring for authenticity—have thronged to the campaigns of nontraditional candidates in both parties. With insults, vulgarity and an audacious, personality-driven campaign, Donald Trump has ripped up the age-old political playbook, captivated rank-and-file Republicans and unnerved party leaders amid threats of a brokered convention or even a third-party candidate. The Grand Old Party is struggling to survive. And despite an unparalleled level of experience and preparation, Hillary Clinton is grappling with a strong primary challenge from an unlikely insurgent on her second quest to shatter the most stubborn glass ceiling of all.
"After the polls close, CNN’s most in-depth reporting can be revealed in Madame President/Mr. President (final title, obviously, to be determined after the election), divulging behind-the-scenes secrets and stories from the campaign trail, and shedding light on how the ultimate victor triumphed. Filled with you-are-there reporting, beautiful photojournalism and insightful infographics, CNN's account will let you hold history in your hands."
