As was the cast with the rest of the metro, Scott County shifted well to the left in 2020. Biden ran 8.6 points ahead of Clinton's 2016 loss to Trump in the county. Still a red county, but the DFL stopped the streak of 3 straight cycles where the county shifted right. 
The shift wasn't exactly unexpected. The DFL has made gains where the population has grown. In addition, Biden's 2020 performance among white Catholics helped here.
Smith ran a couple points behind her 2018 margin, but still improved vs her statewide performance. Klobuchar is a good demonstration of what the DFL needs to do in the long run to flip the county: win Prior Lake.
