WASHINGTON — Inside the wrought-iron fences that surround the 18-acre White House complex, the 2020 election rages on, with President Trump angrily refusing to concede.

The leaders of Western Europe have called Mr. Biden, as has the president of the world’s rising superpower, Xi Jinping of China.

Corporate executives, who are usually allergic to political statements, are saying out loud what most of Mr. Trump’s supporters have so far refused to acknowledge.
