Scoop: "Regime Change" sells 500,000 — on track for nonfiction bestseller of '26

Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan's 'Regime Change'—an exposé on President Trump's second term—has sold five hundred thousand copies in just one month, putting it on track to be the top nonfiction book of twenty twenty-six, per Axios. The book has held the number one spot on the New York Times bestseller list for three straight weeks.

In an era when political books were declared to be dying, 'Regime Change' has become a rare bestseller proving the hunger for substantive, insider narratives still runs deep.
