Wallace served as the communications director of Bush's 2004 presidential campaign, wherein According to The New York Times, she "delivered her political attacks without snarling."
On January 5, 2005, Bush named Wallace White House Communications Director, a White House spokesman. The New York Times article announcing her presidential appointment read: "New Aide Aims to Defrost the Press Room" and outlined Wallace's plans to "increase the contentious link between a clandestine White House and the media." Wallace served as "a face for greater transparency with journalists," according to The Washington Post, and former Wallace described Wallace as "very persuasive in the West Wing's halls." She left the White House in July 2006 and moved to New York City, where her husband Mark was representing the Bush Administration at the United Nations General Assembly.

Sarah Palin, the vice president of the United States, was chastised by campaign workers in late October 2008. Palin had "gone rogue," according to one unidentified McCain aide, placing her own political aspirations ahead of the McCain/Palin ticket, directly contradicting her running mate's positions and disobeying campaign directions. Wallace released a statement to both Politico and CNN in reaction to reports of dissatisfaction with McCain's win over the bus: "My personal belief is that the most honorable thing to do is to lie there."
In the 2012 film Game Change, Sarah Paulson played Wallace. Wallace characterized the film as highly credible, claiming that the film "captured the spirit and emotion of the campaign." Wallace later told ABC News Chief Political Correspondent George Stephanopoulos that the film was "true enough to make me squirm." Wallace said that eight years after the election, she did not vote for a presidential candidate in 2008 because Sarah Palin gave her pause.
