Voigt, who was crowned as the 72nd Miss USA winner in Reno, Nevada on September 23, wrote: “My journey as Miss USA has been incredibly meaningful, representing Utah with pride, and later the USA at Miss Universe,” she added. “Sadly, I have made the very tough decision to resign from the title of Miss USA 2023.
