The American Solidarity Party (ASP), formerly the Christian Democratic Party USA (CDPUSA), is an American syncretic political party founded in 2011 by David "Frost" Harris, Kirk Morrison, and Jack Quirk. It is a Christian democratic political party with center-left economic values and center-right social values. The party has a Solidarity National Committee (SNC) and has numerous active state and local chapters.
The American Solidarity Party has been characterized as socially conservative and economically progressive. The ASP encourages social development along the lines of subsidiarity and sphere sovereignty, with a stated emphasis on "the importance of strong families, local communities, and voluntary associations". The party adheres to a consistent life ethic, opposing abortion, assisted suicide, capital punishment, euthanasia, IVF, surrogacy, and unjust war. They support universal healthcare, immigration, and welfare. It favors fiscally progressive policies, as well as a social market economy with a distributist character, which seeks "widespread economic participation and ownership", and providing a social safety net program.
In the 2024 United States presidential election, it was on the ballot in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Ohio, with Peter Sonski as the party's nominee.
