New Miss America offers advice for Clinton and Trump

US: Newly crowned US beauty Queen Savvy Shields who won the Miss America beauty pageant in Atlantic City on Sunday night has issued out some wise advice to the US presidential candidates.

Shields who represented Arkansas in the pageant said;

"I hope that at the end of my year, we're starting to reward politicians for compromise,'' says Shields.

Shields who dreams of being a backup singer for Beyonce said she wants to help people make better food choices.

When asked during her onstage interview what she thought of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, Shields responded that while both Clinton and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump have done a good job so far, `"they also need to watch what they're doing.''

"If you're trying to be leader of the free world, everything you say and do matters and all of your actions are held to a higher standard,'' she said.

Shields later elaborated on what she said when she met with reporters after the pageant.

"What I want both candidates to focus on is compromise,'' she said. "Our country was founded on compromise. We're in a state now where both parties just seem to be yelling at one another.''
