A Miss America candidate had a quick answer when asked on Friday to name the most serious issue facing the country - replying that it was President Trump. During her onstage interview, Miss West Virginia Madeline Collins, 23, said Trump 'has caused a lot of division in our country', but as she only had 20 seconds to answer was not able to elaborate further. A question on the propriety of those protests helped propel Miss Virginia Emili McPhail to a preliminary win Thursday night. In the talent competition, Miss Louisiana Holli' Conway won for a vocal performance, singing 'I Believe.' On Wednesday, Miss Florida Taylor Tyson won the talent competition for a piano performance, and Miss Wisconsin Tianna Vanderhei won the interview competition for her comments on education.
