(CNN) On Thursday, President Donald Trump's campaign began a push for more than the traditional three general election debates with former Vice President Joe Biden. The effort, which is being led by none other than former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, amounts to the most clear evidence yet that -- despite all of his public bluster -- the President knows he is losing right now. Remember that as recently as last December, Trump was contemplating sitting out the general election debate season entirely. Biden's campaign isn't biting. "We are not going to ride the roller coaster of the ever-changing Trump campaign position on debates, nor are we going to be distracted by his demands," his deputy campaign manager, Kate Bedingfield, said in a statement.
