As she prepares to take over the Miss USA role, Savannah Gankiewicz is standing in solidarity with Noelia Voigt, who recently vacated the position. Gankiewicz, also known as Miss Hawaii, was originally the first runner-up in the 2023 Miss USA competition. However, she is now stepping in to fill the role of Miss USA after Voigt announced that she was resigning.
“I accept the crown knowing that I have been uplifted by my supporters, family, friends, and the people of Hawaii throughout this journey. I accept this title on their behalf.” Given the delicate nature of Voigt's departure from her role, some people had questioned Gankiewicz’s decision to take on the role. However, her mother Yvienne Peterson set the record straight while replying to her daughter's Instagram post.
