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.

Yes, New York had a three-year winning streak. One of them was a judge this year.
I am shocked, Figured D.C. had it in the bag.
She is either a scientific idiot or chose to answer in politically correct terms to advance her career. That either makes her an idiot or a political whore. She is a lovely lady and I would hope naught but an idiot. Otherwise she is lovely but not a good person.
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.

I only saw last 15 minutes of the show...There was a question about Russian connection...One contestant said that there should be prosecutions if there were any connection.
Another question was about President Trump’s statements on Charlottesville violence...One contestant said that white extremists are solely to blame...It was an “act of terrorism”...She said that President should have condemned the violence more forcefully...
There was Paris accord question which was answered by the winner...
The black lady was asked about banning contact football for kids in high school and below...She said that such a law should be given a serious consideration...
One lady was asked about getting rid of Confederate symbols...She was all for the idea...
I do not think that judges would ever vote for some lady who would not give left-wing answers to their questions...When the questions were asked, I expected contestants to give politically correct answers...I turned out to be correct...I was very annoyed during the interview segment...
I am glad that I missed most of the show...I had other things to do...So what if I missed the performance by Miss North Dakota...
I wish Cara would Mund her own business. Of course climate is changing, and no meeting in the world is going to stop it or change it.
Mother Nature is the real Miss Universe. Has been for hundreds of millions of years. And she is not going away any time soon.
I imagine cara mud saying, “My body was blessed by mother nature!”, and then Red Foxx replying, “And it will be cursed by Father Time!”
Classic lines from that old show Sandford and Son. :)
But...can she suck-start an F-4?
“There is evidence that climate change is existing and we need to be at that table.”
Two brains, and neither is in her head.
"What woman, in her right mind, wears stiletto high heels to walk in the sand at a beach?"
The "Miss USA" pageant franchise is getting their 1st transgender contestant (inspired by Mr. Trump apparently...according to this article):

I guess Mr. Trump sold the "Miss USA/Miss Universe" pageant company in 2015??
She’s a beauty queen—she’s an airhead.
Could have been channeling Ivanka.
That photo is of Miss Florida..who is actually good looking.
Actually, ND voters have elected many liberals over the years; Heitkamp is 99 percent liberal, for instance, and she flew into the state with Trump.
“She appears to have no talents other than waving.”
I dislike the talent part of the Miss America competition. Looks and sexy attire and sexy strutting around is all that’s needed. I do think the contestants with boob jobs need to be identified.
Damn......how did I miss that? Was it on TV?
The show positively exudes wisdom and missing it is well, a tragedy
In my area I think it was on against the Cowboys/Giants game and the new episode of “Wicked Tuna Outer Banks”. I was switching between the latter two.
I don’t know.
Would Laz hit it?
And what happened to the Trans from Montana?
She’s no Anita Bryant, that’s for sure.
