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.

Miss Texas said statues shouldn’t be removed, well, don’t destroy them and put them in a museum. Wrong answer for the judges.
Miss Missouri was about as far left as you can imagine - I really thought she would win. I really think she knew the question and she went full throttle. Well spoken but a definite SJW.
Her comments prove her to be an indoctrinated liberal airhead.
She is a minority in North Dakota. Libs are rare. Trump’s 3rd highest % after WY and WV.
From Inforum:
"FARGO—Four North Dakota students have begun internships in Sen. John Hoeven's Washington, D.C., and Fargo offices. Caitlin Hanson and Cara Mund of Bismarck and Ben Bergstrom of Devils Lake have joined his Washington office, while Chase Grindberg of Fargo has joined the Fargo office."
Every pro-abortion woman, including this one, is ugly.
So people should be elected based on what’s below their belt, rather than their ability? Feminism in a nutshell.
I was stationed in North Dakota from 1985 to 1992 and their politicians in DC were Democrats. The only criteria for getting elected as one of the two Senators or the single Representative was how much money they could get for the State and the Dems were the best at that.
Well for sure, she won’t be having my children....
Give me some time with her and I’ll get her mind right.
And I mean right. Captain td
“There is evidence that climate change is existing and we need to be at that table.”
What profound insight.
I prefer Miss USA/Universe more. It makes no bones about being a beauty pageant instead of tacking on a bunch of stuff about saving the whales, and being some social justice activist, and feminism to try to convince itself its not about what the masses actually want. Which is hotties in bikinis. Of course theres no guarantee one of those girls might still be encouraged to flap their jaws about something out of place but theres still more good stuff and less bs.
Nice gams!
Not guilty. With a bullet.
She may find her popularity go down if she pushes those views too much. She is not like the Cup twirling New Yorker from a few years back who was at home being a liberal from NYC
I would not be surprised. After the liberals targeted Carrie Prejean for having the audacity to oppose homosexual marriage in a beauty pageant comment, I think contestants have learned that they are expected to be liberal.
