In June 2020, Susan Vergeront endorsed Joe Biden, a Democrat, for president. According to Vergeront, "Since I left the legislature in 1994, the Republican party has become more greedy and more vicious and ruthless than I ever imagined it could be. I still call myself a Republican because I believe in the Republican ideals of limited government, freedom of the individual, seeking public good...I call myself a Republican in the traditional sense of the Grand Old Party. I'm so disappointed, sometimes to tears, at where our country has come"[4]
