Fox News has more on the story:
President Biden on Saturday addressed the fatal weather that ravaged parts of the South and Midwest and used the tragedy to further his own beliefs on climate change.
While speaking to reporters and virtually assessing the tornado damage from Wilmington, Delaware, Biden was asked whether he “could conclude that these storms and the intensity have to do with climate change.”
Here are some reactions to the news:
We're blaming Trump for these storms, right?

In addition to people being upset with Biden’s horrible timing in trying to capitalize on the misfortune of this tragedy, people are not too pleased with one of the the richest men in the world right now either, Jeff Bezos, nor the CEO of Amazon, David Clark.
At least 6 people died last night at an amazon warehouse in KY, after the employer received multiple warnings of the tornadoes that were coming through the state.
Several dozen emergency crews at the Amazon Warehouse on Gateway Commerce Center Drive.
About a third of the warehouse is torn down and damaged from either straight by line winds or tornado.

At least 2 @Amazon workers just died when a warehouse collapsed over them
Many more trapped and injured. No answers from Amazon of why workers were still in the facility after tornado warnings
All Amazon's CEO @davehclark offered?

How could Amazon possibly push their drivers to drive into tornado areas?
How obsessed with money do you have to be, to put the lives of your workers in danger like that?
This could’ve easily been avoided.
Also, just a fact check really quick on Biden’s weak attempt of trying to push his climate change agenda
Scientist here.
The 🌪️ in this part of the country are in no way related to global warming (most disasters in fact are not) as you claimed without evidence.
In 1925, ~750 people were killed and ~2,300 were injured in basically the same area.https://t.co/L5oK67c4AQ https://t.co/aTSjHjrjHl
