In this week's Party Politics , co-hosts Brandon Rottinghaus and Jeronimo Cortina break down a packed week of political moves and maneuvering. In Texas, Congressman Wesley Hunt officially jumps into the Senate race, adding another layer to the growing question: Who will win Trump's endorsement? Plus, we take a closer look at Judge Lina Hidalgo's complex legacy and what her political future could look like amid ongoing scrutiny.

Then, we shift to the national stage, where the government shutdown drags on with no clear end in sight — and questions swirl around whether the National Guard can legally be deployed in U.S. cities like Chicago, Los Angeles and Portland.

It's a mix of Texas intrigue, GOP infighting, and national tension — all on this week's Party Politics.
