‘speak to’ is the norm in Standard Southern British English, at least. ‘speak with’ is definitely marked at best, and at worst sounds American/foreign.
In fairness, Mitch has been seizing up in front of cameras for years and is being carted around on a wheelchair looking like you can’t process what’s going on around him.
In fairness, I say “to” and not “with” if I say something similar. I know it’s incorrect, but I’m American and we’re lazy in how we talk.
