I te tau 2001, i rongonui a Haysbert i te wa i whakauruhia ai ia ki te "24" hei U.S. Senator David Palmer, nana nei i mahi te Perehitini pango tuatahi o te U.S. (i roto i te horopaki o te whakaaturanga) i te waa tuarua me te tuatoru. I hoki mai ano ia hei whetu manuhiri i nga waahanga e ono o te waa 4 me te waahanga tuatahi o te waa 5. I whakaingoatia ia mo te Golden Globe me te Golden Satellite Award i te tau 2002 mo tenei mahi. I kii a Haysbert i roto i tetahi uiui mo te whakaaturanga ko nga tangata e toru e tino miharo ana ia - Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, me Colin Powell - e whakakao ana i tana whakaaro mo te ahua o te Perehitini. E whakapono ana a Haysbert na tana whakatangi i a David Palmer i runga i te "24" i awhina i a Barack Obama - i tautokohia e Haysbert - ki te wikitoria i te tohu perehitini a te Democratic 2008
