She was considered as a running mate for then-presidential candidate George W. Bush in July 2000. However her moderate views on many issues made this somewhat unlikely; indeed during her time as governor she was constantly criticized by conservatives such as New York area radio talk show host Bob Grant. Her prospects were also lowered by the release of a photo of a 1996 racial profiling incident three weeks before the 2000 Republican National Convention. During a public relations event in Camden, New Jersey in which the governor rode along in a police patrol car, officers stopped a 16-year-old black male named Sherron Rolax for suspicious activity and proceeded to frisk him. After finding nothing, Whitman also frisked the suspect while a state trooper photographed her. This photo drew fire from civil rights leaders who saw this as a violation of Rolax's civil rights and an endorsement of racial profiling by the governor. Whitman told the press that she regretted the incident and pointed to her 1999 efforts against the state police force's racial profiling practices. Rolax would later be imprisoned in 2003 after pleading guilty to drug possession.

Although she did not become Bush's running mate, she was later appointed by the president as the Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency. As head of the EPA, she made headlines for disavowing (with the President) the validity of a government-commissioned report suggesting a human contribution to global warming. On May 20, 2003 she resigned her position, effective June 27 of that year.
