No he shouldn't. The DoJ should be independent of the President. The only reason an AG should be removed is if they are either breaking the law or actively helping someone do so.

Garland is the definition of dereliction of duty. He only opened an investigation into Trump because the Jan 6th Committee publicly embarrassed him and his inaction with all the things they shared with the public. We know for a fact that he wanted to do nothing in regards to Jan 6th because he was worried it would seem political, and of course now it does seem political A) To Republicans because it's happening during an election year and B) To Democrats because he intentionally did nothing for 2 years in the interest of not stirring the hornet's nest of domestic terrorists and not wanting to establish a precedent. He just wants to be a dude who's there doing the minimal amount of controversial work because he's a feckless asshole.

What you don't want is what Trump did, putting pressure on and telling the AG to be a political hack. Biden appointed Garland, he can remove him for literally not doing his job.

Garland also seemingly undermining Biden and his administration is also a justified reason, though does admittedly seem personally motivated.
