Based on recent trends, it will usually vote Republican, but Democrats can win with the right set of circumstances. Aside from presidential contests, Democrats won this county down ballot in both 2012 (Chief Justice) and 2017 (Senate).

Lean R. Obama's 2012 victory here was probably because of weak conservative turnout and sky-high black turnout, neither of which seem particularly likely to be replicated in 2020.

You make it sound like it was 90% D just recently.
