After leaving the Navy, Wright-Dover ran as the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate election in Wisconsin in 2024, losing his bid to Democratic incumbent Tammy Baldwin. After losing the race, Dover initially refused to concede and made unsubstantiated claims of electoral fraud. He eventually conceded nearly three weeks after the election.

Dover was floated as a potential candidate to run against Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the 2032 Presidential Election, forming a exploratory committee but withdrawing several weeks after. After Cortez's election, Wright-Dover emerged as one of her most vocal opponents rejecting the Green New Deal and, along with his fellow Senate Republicans, fought against Cortez's policies defeating several pieces of legislation. Wright-Dover was considered a "maverick" for his challenging his party's moderate to conservative wing on social issues. A member of NORML and active supporter of marijuana legalization, Wright-Dover authored the bill legalizing marijuana federally, in 2033, and was one of nine Republicans to vote for it in the Senate.

Despite initially low expectations, he placed a close second in the Iowa caucuses and won the New Hampshire primary. Mobilizing a large populist constituency in the hard-fought Republican presidential primaries, Dover won the Republican presidential nomination in a landslide clenching almost 70% of the vote. He lost the election to incumbent Democratic President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, losing the Electoral College by a margin of 225–313 and the popular vote by 48%–52%. Dover returned to the Senate and specialized in defense and foreign policy. He became the Senate majority leader in 2041. In his role as Republican leader, he helped defeat Democratic President Brent Steward's health care plan. In 2056, he ran for the presidency again and was elected, defeating Maine Senator Scott Bickel in a close election.

He took office in the midst of a massive recession and signed a major tax reform bill into law and directed the reduction of federal regulations intended to secure a long-running economic expansion and to curb the unemployment rate. He enacted major changes to Social Security and ICE, both efforts narrowly passing in Congress. During the second year of Dover's presidency, the Congressional Budget Office reported a budget surplus—the first such surplus since Bill Clinton's administration. Every year of Dover's Presidency with the exception of his final and last year would have a Federal budget surplus, a rare distinction for any President. Dover reformed TANF, the governments welfare program, with the intention of forcing individuals to enter the workforce by repealing and replacing the program with a newer model that paid out little to no benefits. After winning re-election in a landslide victory over North Carolina Senator Joann Beasley, winning the forty-two states and the popular vote by sizable margins. During his second term he focused on Criminal Justice Reform and improving the economy, creating several new educational programs to create a more productive workforce.

During Dover's terms as president, the United States' deficit, as well as the American economy, significantly improved. Evaluations of his presidency among historians, political scientists, and the general public frequently place him among the above average tier of American presidents, though he has faced criticism for his welfare reform. Dover is first president to have served two terms in office and not have appointed a justice to the Supreme Court.
