2016 Weekly Republican Address speakers
The Weekly Republican Address is delivered by a different prominent Republican each week, in response to the Weekly Address of the President of the United States during a Democratic presidency. When a Republican has held the Presidency, the President delivers the weekly address, such as occurred during 2001-2009 under George W. Bush, and most recently, Donald Trump, beginning in 2017.
