Donald Trump this week could be making his first appearance in Ohio since he becoming president. Jim Renacci gets support from a pro-Trump group in his quest to become Ohio's next governor. And Steve Dettelbach supports a move from a guy from the opposite party. Read more in this edition of Ohio Politics Roundup, brought to you today by Andrew J. Tobias.

Trump in Cincinnati? President Donald Trump "plans to travel to Ohio on Wednesday to address ways of improving levees, dams and locks along inland waterways that are crucial to agricultural exports," write Ken Thomas and Josh Boak for the Associated Press.

"His visit is expected to include a speech expected to touch on partnering with states and local governments," according to Thomas and Boak.

Jack Torry reports for the Columbus Dispatch that the White House is considering a speech in Cincinnati, or at least the "Ohio River region."

"Trump's visit will be part of a week-long White House effort to emphasize his plan to use $200 billion in tax breaks to help generate $1 trillion in public and private investment to pay for improving the nation's infrastructure," Torry writes.

Bikers for Trump back Renacci: The grassroots group issued an endorsement of U.S. Rep. Jim Renacci's 2018 bid for Ohio governor. Renacci, whose campaign's announcement video depicts him riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, traveled to Sandusky to accept the group's endorsement at an Ohio Bike Week event.

"Jim Renacci is not only a fellow rider, but he's also a fellow patriot, a career businessman and the only Columbus outsider in this race," Tiki Ferrell, the group's Ohio chapter leader, said in a statement.

The group, which claims 200,000 national members, is perhaps best known in Ohio for its presence at last July's Republican National Convention in Cleveland. (This reporter witnessed a police officer in Public Square -- unsuccessfully, it turns out -- trying to talk a fire-extinguisher-wielding member out of confronting a group of communists who planned to ceremonially burn an American flag.)

Why it matters: As BuzzFeed News' Henry J. Gomez notes, Renacci more than any candidate is trying to carry the Trump mantle in the 2018 governor's race.

Awards season: Ohio GOP political consultant Nick Everhart was named on Thursday to the American Association of Political Consultants' 2017 "40 under 40" class.

Everhart is president of Content Creative Media, based in the Columbus area.

Something to watch: An Ohio political activist is moving to Wisconsin to challenge House Speaker Paul Ryan, writes Reid J. Epstein for the Wall Street Journal.

David Yankovich, who has blogged for the Huffington Post, said he is looking for an apartment to rent in the state. (Epstein also reported that an in-state labor activist, Randy Bryce, is assembling a campaign, and could be Ryan's first serious challenger since entering Congress.)

Something else to watch: Some Ohio farmers are worried Trump's plans to renegotiate the North American Free Trade agreement could have negative ramifications for their bottom line, writes Torry for the Dayton Daily News.

"Today Mexico is our largest corn market," said Tadd Nicholson, executive director of the Ohio Corn and Wheat Growers Association, according to Torry. "I could imagine a 20-year agreement could use some modernization, but to completely to open it up makes us a little nervous because agriculture has been such a beneficiary."

Dettelbach supports DeWine lawsuit: On Sunday, Democratic Ohio attorney general hopeful Steve Dettelbach issued a statement on current Attorney General Mike DeWine's lawsuit against drug manufacturers for their role in Ohio's opioid crisis.

The statement from Dettelbach comes five days after DeWine, a Republican who is expected to run for governor, announced the lawsuit.

"Reading the complaint is a chilling experience, especially having seen the suffering of Ohio families first-hand, both when I toured Appalachia last week and during my years as U.S. Attorney fighting this problem," Dettelbach said. "This is a case that needed to be brought and, regardless of party, Ohioans should support it. This suit must be aggressively pursued along with other steps to help Ohioans who have been hit so hard by this crisis for so long."

The political angles: Dettelbach's statement puts him somewhat at odds with the tack taken by Ohio Democratic Party Chairman David Pepper, who blamed DeWine for not acting sooner. DeWine, meanwhile, in filing the lawsuit effectively co-opted a platform position from some 2018 Democratic candidates.

As the Columbus Dispatch's Darrell Rowland notes, DeWine's verbiage even closely mirrored that of Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley, a Democratic gubernatorial hopeful.

From Rowland: "May 22: 'The drug companies made this mess, and it's time they stopped passing the buck to Ohio's taxpayers and started paying to clean it up.' -- Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley.

May 31: 'It is just and it is right that the people who played a significant role in creating this mess should now pay to clean it up.' -- Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine."

Revolving door update: Former Columbus Mayor Mike Coleman is returning to Columbus City Hall to lobby his former colleagues, writes the Columbus Dispatch's Rick Rouan.

"He is representing three clients, including two with interest in development in Franklinton and the Scioto Peninsula, among his crowning achievements as the city's longest-serving mayor," Rouan writes.

Pillich blasts Trump over Paris agreement pullout: On Friday, former State Rep. Connie Pillich, another 2018 Democratic gubernatorial candidate, issued a statement promising to uphold the terms of the Paris climate agreement, which Trump withdrew from last week, if she is elected governor.

Pillich said she would direct Ohio toward joining the United States Climate Alliance, a coalition of states that formed in response to Trump's decision.

"Donald Trump's reckless abandonment of the Paris Climate Agreement is an irresponsible attempt to please a fringe element of his supporters over the recommendations of the business community, pleas from scientists, wishes of the American public, and the future of our children," Pillich said.

The press release is the latest example of Pillich responding to an item in the news by staking out an anti-Trump position targeted at the party's liberal base. In March, she said she would refuse to deploy the Ohio National Guard to fight a "cover-up war" she imagined Trump may wage to distract from political problems emanating from an ongoing investigation into possible ties between Trump campaign aides and the Russian government's attempts to influence last year's election.
