Multiple sources, including a Library of Congress CRS report, state that Sheinbaum won the 2024 presidential race by more than 30 percentage points over Xóchitl Gálvez, and official preliminary counts (AP, Reuters, RFI) put the margin at roughly 30 points or more.
What was said
… 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.

Supports. The CRS product states that Sheinbaum 'won the presidential race by more than 30 percentage points' over Xóchitl Gálvez, with 59% of the vote.[3]
Supports. AP's official quick count gave Sheinbaum 58.3%–60.7% and Gálvez 26.6%–28.6%, a margin of roughly 30 points or more across the ranges.[1]
Supports. Reuters reported Sheinbaum at 58.8% and Gálvez at 28.1% with 82% of ballots counted, a margin of about 30.7 points, and the BBC described a lead of about 30 points.[2][4]
Supports. RFI and Channels TV reported that Sheinbaum was more than 30 percentage points ahead of Galvez according to preliminary official results.[5][6]
Contradicts. NYT reported about 58% to about 29% (a 29-point gap), and an early Altoona Mirror snapshot at about 50% of polling places reported a 28-point lead; both are rounded or early counts rather than the final picture.[7][8]
Context. The margin figures are preliminary quick-count results rather than final certified totals, so the exact margin depends on which count is used.[1][2]
