The presidential election is on everyone's mind, even middle schooler students in Palm Beach County.

Seventh and eighth graders at The Benjamin School took part in a mock presidential debate Monday.

Students who were chosen debated foreign policy and domestic issues, all to better understand the issues and what it takes to be an informed voter.

The students debated everything from terrorism to the trade deficit.

NewsChannel 5’s Tory Dunnan moderated the debate.

Students will take part in a mock election day later this month.
