Republican congressional candidate Robert F. Hyde has dropped out of the race to represent Connecticut's 5th congressional district in the U.S. House. Hyde achieved national prominence during the January 2020 impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump for his texts claiming to have surveilled Marie Yovanovitch, the former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine.

"I'm withdrawing from the race," Hyde said on Friday of his primary campaign against Republican candidate David Sullivan. "Sullivan outraised me," Hyde continued, "and I want the nominee not to have to primary. Only chance to win."

Hyde had hoped to challenge Democratic incumbent Representative Jahana Hayes for her congressional seat. Hyde's campaign website said that he "is an ardent support [sic] of our duly elected president, President Trump, and his agenda of renewing American Greatness."

His past text messages with Lev Parnas, a close associate of President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, insinuated that he was secretly surveilling Yovanovitch by tracking her movements and computer use.
