Claudia Sheinbaum Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Claudia Sheinbaum has just wrapped up the first year of her historic presidency, and the past few days have felt more like a triumphant victory lap than the close of a political quarter. As reported by Mexico News Daily and confirmed across El Financiero and El Economista, her approval ratings have hit staggering heights, clocking in at over 70 percent—peaking as high as 79 percent in late August, according to the New Zealand Herald. That makes her, without question, the most popular Mexican president at this stage in decades, and the buzz on social media has been nothing short of electric. Crowds at stadiums from Juárez to Mexico City have chanted “Presidenta! Presidenta!” with thousands jostling for selfies, dramatically underscoring her influence, especially among young people and women, who have shown higher levels of support than their male or older counterparts.

In terms of public appearances, Sheinbaum just completed what she calls an “unprecedented” national accountability tour, personally visiting 31 states to give progress updates on welfare and infrastructure programs. Her report, delivered in a packed Mexico City stadium, outlined significant expansions of social programs and new infrastructure milestones. She’s also announced expanded seed bank protections for Mexico’s diverse corn varieties—a move that both appeals to national pride and signals forward-looking policy as Mexico positions itself in global agricultural debates.

Sheinbaum’s public schedule has been relentless. In the last week alone, she spoke at a massive rally in Ciudad Juárez and wrapped up her accountability tour with a major event in the Zócalo, Mexico City’s symbolic heart. There have been a few bumps, like recent overcrowding at a Juárez stadium event reported by KFOX and a contentious press conference exchange over press favoritism, but these moments have not dented her appeal or blunted the enthusiasm of the crowds.

Policy developments are equally robust. Sheinbaum announced new, stricter regulations for the transportation of liquefied petroleum gas in the wake of a tragic tanker explosion in Mexico City. On the international front, she’s had high-profile diplomatic exchanges, urging the US to reconsider new auto tariffs and facing off—in her measured but unmistakable style—against stereotypes promoted by Donald Trump, using both her press conferences and social media to shut down the infamous “sleepy Mexican” trope.

Security remains thorny; despite sending thousands of troops to conflict flashpoints like Sinaloa, Sheinbaum continues to face criticism for ongoing cartel violence and a sluggish judicial process. Economic growth is stubbornly flat, a challenge inherited from her predecessor, and credible sources like Tomorrows Affairs caution that big-picture metrics may not shift soon.

On social media, Sheinbaum has posted several videos highlighting her meetings with young girls and sharing moments from her stadium rallies, including the now-viral line, “Girls come up to me and say, ‘I want to be like you when I grow up—I don’t want to be a princess anymore; I want to be president.’” These posts, noted by China Daily Asia, have helped cement her brand as a role model and historic figure for Mexican women.

That’s your whirlwind update on Claudia Sheinbaum’s astonishing year—her ratings high, her agenda ambitious, and her public presence unmistakable as she keeps bending tradition and expectation.
