North Dakota's Cara Mund claimed the crown as Miss America 2018 during Sunday night's competition at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall.
Miss America 2017, Savvy Shields, former Miss Arkansas, placed the crown on the 23-year-old teary-eyed successor's head as the new Miss America accepted applause and cheers from the audience and judges.
Miss North Dakota emerged victorious through a series of swimsuit and talent contests, onstage speeches and two rounds of interviews by judges.
In one of her onstage interviews, Mund said President Trump, a Republican, was wrong to withdraw the U.S. from the climate accord aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming.
"It's a bad decision," she said. "There is evidence that climate change is existing and we need to be at that table."
In an interview with The Associated Press before preliminary competition began, Mund, who lives in Bismarck, North Dakota, said her goal is to be the first woman elected governor of her state.
She said she wants to see more women elected to all levels of government.
"It's important to have a woman's perspective," Mund, who had an internship in the U.S. Senate, told the AP. "In health care and on reproductive rights, it's predominantly men making those decisions."
The first runner up was Miss Missouri Jennifer Davis; second runner up was Miss New Jersey Kaitlyn Schoeffel; third runner up was Miss District of Columbia Briana Kinsey, and fourth runner up was Miss Texas Margana Wood.

What else would an airhead say?
Another liberal, brainwashed, pro-abortion, global-warming conformist, who has probably never entertained a skeptical attitude toward any of her teachers or the media. Sad.
She did a political internship and now she’s an expert on reproductive rights, climate change, and woman’s rights.
Not easy to find a Liberal in North Dakota. Maybe she was just saying what the judges wanted to hear.
She appears to have no talents other than waving.
Probably.
With a U.S. Senator!
Right?! All of them in her age group have all the answers, just ask them
There you have it, folks, the final authority on Global Warming.
Maybe that is why she was wearing a bikini.
Airhead - Thomas Dolby
I buy her all the right clothes
And pretty jewels to wear
My friends say she’s a dumb blonde
But they don’t know she dyes her hair
She thinks the fighting in Central America’s easily solved
But what to wear to Bel-Air premieres
Is a problem she could never resolve...
She’s an airhead
Stungun and mace - Kharmann Ghia plates say “Lost in Space”
She’s an airhead
Thousands in trust - cusp Aquarius - get serious
She’s an airhead
Tinted contacts don’t change the fact that black is black
She’s an airhead
And while I’m impressed with the length of those legs
She’s not an intellectual giant....
She’d like to model or maybe act
Or start a magazine
Before she signs any contracts
I think she better learn to read
But in her dreams she’s the queen of the fashion regime...
You ask me do I love you...
Does the pope live in the woods?
Quod erat demonstrandum, baby.
( ooo you speak French)
*Chorus*
Sweet and low and oh-so
Little Ms. Dora Jarre
Safe sex and fishnets
And could you walk me to my car
She’s losing faith in a world that is out of control
So she’s gonna nix politics,
She’s taking up volleyball! volleyball! why?
She’s an airhead
Stungun and mace - Kharmann Ghia plates say “Lost in Space” she’s an airhead
Thousands in trust - cusp Aquarius - get serious
She’s an airhead
And now the time’s come for the end of my song,
Don’t get me wrong
If she’s an airhead it has to be said
It was men made her that way
It was us made her that way
It was us made her that way!
We had this program on this evening. My impression, as I watched the contestants strut their stuff in their bikinis, was ‘I guess wholesome isn’t an attribute of the contestants anymore’. Fake boobs, fake tans, and sky high stilettos must be the ‘look’ of the pageant. How far we have fallen! (And there were some contestants who did look like wholesome, all-Americans girls, but they didn’t make the first cut)
Smiling while walking and moving her head to scan the crowds.
Not just anyone can do that.
So many serious matters have been going on (hurricanes, Eric Bolling’s job and son, Trump working with Pelosi) I haven’t thought much about Beauty Pageants.
Bingo! Nailed it.
That said, she may well have a career in politics.
In the talent portion, Mund performed a jazz dance to Michael Jackson’s “The Way You Make Me Feel.”
She’s 23, a graduate of Brown, and has been accepted to Notre Dame Law School.
Doesn’t sound like Miss North Dakota has seen a lot of North Dakota lately.
