Why does a US president usually urge voters to elect members of his or her political party to congress?
The primary purpose for a US president to urge voters to elect members of his or her party to congress is to make it easier for the Party and the president to have bills the Party favors made into laws. A US president usually urges voters to elect members of his political party to congress because the president proposes laws but the congress passes laws. The president is also able to veto laws but the congress can override the President's veto. The congress (Legislative Branch) is also able to approve treaties (and the president negotiates foreign treaties) and the congress can impeach and remove the President and other high officials (the president appoints federal judges, ambassadors, and other high officials).

What will happen if president is in the political party?
Huh? Let's try answering a couple different questions. Understand that politics is all about the next election. If the president and both houses of Congress are in the same political party, and there are at least 60 senators from the president's party (which is what it takes to shut down a filibuster) things are done in Congress that the president will sign because the party wants to prove to the voters that it can accomplish the people's work. If any of the following are true: the president is from a different party than the one controlling either, or both, houses of Congress or there are less than 60 members of the president's party in the Senate then nothing gets done, so the other party can go to the voters and say, "pick us because my party can solve the problem of gridlock in government today."
