A registered Democrat in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania, she went for Hillary Clinton, though Mr Trump ultimately won the state that year, delivering him the White House.
But in 2020, Ms Jordan changed her mind and voted for Mr Trump because his presidency, she confessed, coincided with "the best I've been in a long time, financially."
She will "probably vote for Trump again" if he runs in 2024, she said - two years into Joe Biden's presidency, Ms Jordan didn't think he was "in touch with small business owners" like herself.
Pennsylvania is the top prize in this year's November midterm elections, with Democrats fighting to gain a seat in the US Senate and keep a candidate who backs Mr Trump's false claim that the 2020 election was stolen out of the governor's mansion.
Mr Biden, who has long touted his middle-class Pennsylvania roots and made his ties to the state a part of his political identity, has been trumpeting his economic record there.
At a speech in Philadelphia this month, he declared that "today, America's economy is faster, stronger than any other advanced nation in the world".
But despite the boasts coming from Washington, in small town Pennsylvania, positive economic change seems a long way off. That disconnect could spell trouble for Democrats.
The party has borne the brunt of Americans' fury over the soaring inflation, and insiders have warned that voters must be convinced the economy is improving if Democrats hope to stave off major losses in the midterms.
Though the president's party scored policy wins in the final weeks of summer - passing long-sought climate legislation that, they claim, also addresses inflation, and announcing student loan debt relief for millions - Democrats are expected to lose the majority they hold in at least one chamber of Congress.
Those policy wins aren't yet connecting with voters like Ms Jordan, who told BBC News that rising prices had cut into her profits.
Is the US in a recession?Is Biden's student debt forgiveness fair?
Ms Jordan's concerns about her financial stability were echoed by voters throughout Pennsylvania, with Biden and Trump supporters alike concerned about the continued high cost of everyday living and disillusioned with leaders in Washington.
"You got a lot of folks in Pennsylvania that are worried about what's right in front of them," said Mustafa Rashed, a Philadelphia-area Democratic strategist. "It's harder to get people involved in the voting process. You're competing with their attention with pocketbook issues."
