As a sitting member, Knott publicly backed a House budget resolution in 2025, which is related fiscal action but not the balanced budget amendment itself.

The current official House homepage, crawled 6 days ago, lists recent news items such as a farm bill statement and passport casework, but shows no balanced-budget-amendment action or related statement on the front page.

The latest official House homepage content visible in the lookback window is unrelated to a balanced budget amendment, so there is no new official sign of follow-through or reversal in the last 30 days.

Assessments

The promise was to support a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, not merely to express campaign support for one. The record provided shows Knott made the promise and later supported a related House budget resolution, which is fiscal-policy follow-through but not the constitutional amendment itself. There is no evidence that a balanced budget amendment passed, that Knott sponsored or cosponsored such an amendment, or that he cast a decisive vote for it during his federal term. Because he took a related public legislative position but did not deliver the promised amendment outcome, this merits partial credit rather than full delivery.

The promise was to support a balanced budget amendment, not necessarily to enact one. Knott's campaign materials directly state support for a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, matching the claim. Available evidence does not show passage or sponsorship of such an amendment, but enactment was not the promised outcome. His later support for a House budget resolution is related fiscal activity but not necessary to satisfy the narrower support pledge.
