During the onstage interview portion of the competition, she was asked
what she thought of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, one
of several political questions asked of the contestants. "Both of the
contestants have done a good job, but they also need to watch what
they're doing," she said.
The runners-up were: Fourth runner-up, Miss Mississippi Laura Lee Lewis;
third runner-up, Miss Washington Alicia Cooper; second runner-up Miss
New York Camille Sims; first runner up Miss South Carolina Rachel Wyatt.
