With the party

The Conservatives have taken a string of former Labour strongholds, with the party forecast to watch in the general election with a comfortable majority.

I saw the above at https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2019-50765773

What is the grammatical function of "with the party...majority"? When do we use this "with preposition phrases"?
