The sources support the vote share: Sheinbaum won about 59-60% (quick count 58.3-60.7%, preliminary 59.4%) in the June 2, 2024 presidential election. However, the sources describe that as a single-round vote with no runoff, so the claim's 'runoff' label is contradicted.
A detail. The sources confirm the gist; the verdict faults a detail such as a date, number or wording.

… We'll talk about that in a little bit if we get to it. I find it interesting that she is a climate scientist. I mean, could you get any more convenient here? That guarantees her tons of NGO support. Now, now, the claim: the National Electoral Institute, which he's trying to get rid of now, said that she won almost 60% of the vote in runoff, uhm, which is over 30 percentage points ahead of her rival, Sochit Galvez. I don't know how they get Sochit out of X-O-C-H-I-T-L, which is a woman's name down there, but that's how it's pronounced, I've been told. …

Contradicts. The sources describe the June 2, 2024 vote as the presidential election that she won outright, with the runner-up conceding after preliminary results. None describe a runoff round, so the 'runoff' label is inaccurate.[1][2][4]
Supports. Multiple tier-1 sources report Sheinbaum's share at roughly 58-60%, including a quick count of 58.3%-60.7% and a preliminary tally of 59.4%.[1][2][5][6]
Supports. Sources describe the vote share as nearly 60% and as the highest percentage in Mexico's democratic history.[3][4][7][8]
Context. The 59-60% figures are preliminary or quick-count results, and the National Electoral Institute's final results were expected later. Sources do not give a separate final figure in this set.[2][5]
