As mentioned in the documentation, there can be only one CMD in the docker file and if there is more, the last one overrides the others and takes effect. A key point of using docker might be to isolate your programs, so at first glance, you might want to move them to separate containers and talk to each other using a shared volume or a docker network, but if you really need them to run in the same container, including them in a bash script and replacing the last CMD with CMD run.sh will run them alongside each other:

#!/bin/bash

exec python3 /path/to/script1.py &
exec python3 /path/to/script2.py

Add COPY run.sh to the Dockerfile and use RUN chmod a+x run.sh to make it executable. CMD should be CMD ["./run.sh"]
