Claudia Sheinbaum, who took office in October 2024 for a fixed six-year term ending in 2030, maintains strong institutional support through her Morena party’s legislative majorities and continued advancement of constitutional reforms and infrastructure projects. Approval ratings have declined from peaks above 70 percent to the low-to-mid 60s by mid-2026, driven by inflation pressures on purchasing power, cartel-related violence including high-profile incidents in Sinaloa and Chihuahua, and fallout from corruption allegations against associates. No formal impeachment proceedings, resignation signals, or constitutional challenges have emerged, and Mexico’s political system lacks recall mechanisms for the presidency. Traders weigh these domestic headwinds against the absence of viable removal pathways short of extraordinary events such as severe health issues or unprecedented security breakdowns. Scheduled legislative sessions and ongoing U.S.-Mexico security coordination represent the nearest potential catalysts for shifts in stability perceptions.
