Miss Michigan Alma Cooper crowned Miss USA 2024 after turbulent tear for the organization

Miss Michigan Alma Cooper was crowned Miss USA 2024 on August 4th at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, marking a new chapter for the organization after a tumultuous year. This victory comes after the unprecedented resignations of former Miss USA Noelia Voigt and Miss Teen USA UmaSofia Srivastava in May, citing personal reasons and misalignment with the organization's direction.

Savannah Gankiewicz, who assumed the Miss USA title following Voigt's resignation, expressed her positive experience with the organization and emphasized her mission to empower young women.

The newly crowned Miss USA 2024, Alma Cooper, will now represent the United States in the upcoming Miss Universe Pageant in November. Meanwhile, Miss Teen USA 2024 was awarded to Mississippi's Addie Carver on August 1st.

Despite the controversies surrounding the organization, the Miss USA pageant continues to be a platform for empowering young women and celebrating their achievements.
