From 2020 to 2022, Dupont served – alongside Béatrice Piron – as one of two treasurers of the LREM parliamentary group under chairman Christophe Castaner. In 2023, she left the Renaissance group, together with Mireille Clapot, Barbara Pompili and Cécile Rilhac.Mariama Darame and Jérémie Lamothe (11 April 2023), [https://www.lefigaro.fr/politique/barbara-pompili-ainsi-que-trois-autres-deputees-ne-sont-plus-membres-du-groupe-renaissance-20230413 Assemblée nationale : Barbara Pompili et trois autres députées se détachent du groupe Renaissance] Le Figaro.
Political positions

On immigration, Dupont is considered to be part of her parliamentary group's more liberal wing. In late 2019, she was among the critics of the government's legislative proposals on immigrations and instead joined 17 LREM members who recommended, in particular, greater access to the labour market for migrants, but also "specific measures for collaboration with the authorities of safe countries, such as Albania and Georgia, in order to inform candidates for departure, in their country of origin, of what the asylum application really is."Erwan Bruckert (7 October 2019), [https://www.lepoint.fr/politique/immigration-l-aile-gauche-de-lrem-veut-elargir-le-marche-du-travail-pour-les-migrants-07-10-2019-2339881_20.php Immigration : l'aile gauche de LREM veut élargir le marché du travail pour les migrants] Le Point.
In 2020, Dupont was one of ten LREM members who voted against her parliamentary group's majority and opposed a much discussed security bill drafted by her colleagues Alice Thourot and Jean-Michel Fauvergue that helps, among other measures, curtail the filming of police forces.[http://www2.assemblee-nationale.fr/scrutins/detail/(legislature)/15/(num)/3254 Analyse du scrutin n° 3254, deuxième séance du 24/11/2020: Scrutin public sur l'ensemble de la proposition de loi relative à la sécurité globale (première lecture)] National Assembly.Jules Darmanin (27 November 2020), [https://www.politico.eu/article/france-government-security-bill-plan-rewrite-up-in-arms/ French government plan to rewrite security bill has MPs up in arms] Politico Europe.

In July 2019, Dupont decided not to align with her parliamentary group's majority and became one of 52 LREM members who abstained from a vote on the French ratification of the European Union’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.Maxime Vaudano (24 July 2019), [https://www.lemonde.fr/les-decodeurs/article/2019/07/24/ceta-qui-a-vote-quoi-parmi-les-deputes_5493039_4355770.html CETA : qui a voté quoi parmi les députés] Le Monde.
